Facilitating the ‘patient’ to heal him/her-self (salute-genesis) is the highest art of practice.

Homœopathy

Everything in life, including health and illness, is bound to the law of nature. Logos is the word for the rational order of the universe, an immanent natural law, a life-giving force hidden within things, a power working from above on the sensible world. Its associate word is Legos; to recount, to narrate and to say.

Everything in life is a speaking of the natural law which includes the principles of homeostasis and development. Health and illness are nature’s language, its essence is that one is truly heard and addressed by the right question, whilst the answer bears the similar issues as its question. This language can also be spoken & heard without its material substances (e.g., psycho-therapy). Whereas we and every aspect of life, including an illness is related to something in the universe, with which it has to communicate; one has to treat an illness with its likeness / similarity: restoring homeostasis; this explains Homœopathy.

Homœopathy as a therapeutic method is concerned primarily only with the morbid vital processes in the living organism, which are perceptibly represented by the symptoms. This with the understanding that the cause of an illness is never linear (as in conventional medicine) but it is a disruption of -or the failing to meet- one’s homeostasis (balance/equilibrium) and development.

Therapy can be provided over the phone or online via telegram or zoom, or, in case you live nearby at your home.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy involves talking to a trained therapist, usually one-to-one, but sometimes in a group or with a partner or family members. This to address underlying issues and causes, often from your past, which may be concerning you, or affecting your relationships with others. In your sessions you will be encouraged to talk freely and to look deeper into your problems and worries.

Massage

​Rhythmical Massage Therapy uses a calm rhythmical quality of touch which works deeply into the soft tissues of the body. The movements are generally flowing, rounded and harmonious. The aim is to support and strengthen the rhythmical processes and activities of the body, which are the basis of good health. This enables new possibilities of health to arise.

Rhythmical Massage Therapy is indicated for a much wider range of health problems than is usual for conventional Massage, as it addresses the more subtle energy systems at work in the body. It was developed by Dr Ita Wegman MD in the 1920s from classical Swedish Remedial Massage.

It can be provided, in case you live nearby, at your home.

My principle is to be in touch with the client’s inner therapist: ‘Deep listening is speaking’. Analysing the original source of the symptoms and by empathically revealing her/his scars of trauma or other life disruptions; Creating a process by which those who experience an alienation from their 'sense of self' can say ‘Yes’ to their life. Herewith improving the client’s sense of destiny; freeed from perceptions and prejudices.

Since 1992 I have performed comprehensive and compassionate case management of vulnerable people with complex emotional and behavioural challenges. I have provided home treatment; assessing the needs of vulnerable patients in the privacy and familiarity of their own home.
I have been supporting people with life limiting illness by delivering a high standard of conventional and/or complementary therapies.
